Multiple Magic

In this master bathroom with a rustic-modern aesthetic and a generous amount of natural light, multiple pendant lights hang in clusters for a look that feels star-like.

Natural Beauty

Nothing compares to the charm of natural light. In this master bathroom, glass doors open to a cantilevered deck with a forest view.

Material Punch

Consider a pop of color in eye-catching materials like natural copper for a central ceiling light. This mid-century modern, Scandinavian-inspired look adds an artful centerpiece to any space.

Vintage Vibes

Aged brass sconces add an antique touch to this master bath, enhancing the natural materials on display, from the salvaged wood vanity to the concrete-jute sink.

Think Outside the Sconce

Who says chandeliers are just for the dining room? We love this cascading triple-light chandelier that updates mid-century style with a contemporary silhouette.

Hardworking Hardware

In a small bathroom, let the hardware take center stage, serving as a kind of "art." Here, brass lighting and faucet fixtures pop against a palette of whites and grays.

Keep It Simple

Add simple bulb sconces wherever you want glow in the bathroom. The low-profile canopy makes it perfect for small spaces. (And we love the turn-of-the-century-inspired look.)

Form and Function

Forget wallpapers and paint colors. Instantly punch up the style of a bland bathroom with decorative fixtures that make a statement.

White Wash

In a small bathroom, keeping the palette simple--and light--helps the space live large. Keep the light fixtures simple, too. Here, a horizontal sconce above the mirrored vanity blends in with the white tile and metal hardware while casting a soft glow.

Candlelight

Give your tub area a spa vibe with pillar candles. Choose natural beeswax or naturally scented candles for maximum Zen.
